@africatechie This is horrible. Courage Patrick. The civic space in this country is shrinking by the day under the weight of political suffocation, and may soon vanish.

“Sierra Leone’s decision to open the door to full participation in Africa’s human rights court is exactly the kind of leadership our continent needs as it seeks accountability for the climate crisis.”- Dr. Fatima Diallo @FatimaDiallys , Chairwoman of the African Climate Platform

Very saddened by this loss of life around elections in #Cameroon. May their souls rest in perfect peace.

Needless to say, a leader loses all legitimacy if fellow citizens have to die for the truth of the ballot box.

Millions of Cameroonians are determined to know the truth & nothing but the truth, of the Oct 12 presidential election.

A NEW DAWN

The ballots have been cast. From the trends I am seeing, it is clear that the people of Cameroon have spoken with a voice that is clear, resounding, and undeniable.

In this historic moment, echoing the promise of 1992, our nation stands at the threshold of a new dawn. The collective will of the Cameroonian people has illuminated the path forward.

We now call upon all competent institutions of the Republic to honor their sacred duty. It is imperative that they immediately align with the people's mandate.

To the incumbent President, we address this with respect for his years of service: you now hold the power to bestow one final, historic gift upon the nation. Ensure that the will of the people is respected. The ultimate measure of your legacy will not be written solely by the years you governed, but by the grace and wisdom with which you heed the people’s voice. We urge you to heed the unequivocal voice of the people, accept the election results with dignity, and this also means you must be ready to cede power peacefully. Such a statesmanlike act would cement your place in history as a true patriot who prioritized national unity and democratic principles above all else.

My most fervent wish was for the opposition candidates to team up in answer to the call of the people. I am thankful that the people have succeeded.

To all other candidates in this election: we extend a heartfelt appeal. In the spirit of patriotism and for the sake of national cohesion, we urge you to unite in this call for calm, peace, and respect for the electoral verdict. Let us stand together, beyond political competition, to guide our nation forward peacefully.

This is a pivotal test of our democracy. The world is watching. Let us choose the path of peace, progress, and respect for the sovereign will of the people. May this new chapter be one of unity, prosperity, and renewed hope for all Cameroonians.

God bless the Republic of Cameroon.

@AkereMuna The attack on Barrister Tamfu is one amongst many and testament to the erosion of human rights in Cameroon. Such barbaric acts perpetrated by forces of law and order are becoming a norm. Justice for Barrister Tamfu will serve as a deterrence.

Humanity is treating the sea like a sewer.

Plastic pollution is choking sea life.

Greenhouse gases are causing ocean heating, acidification & accelerating rise in sea levels.
